> I have the same version of Ubuntu (really Kubuntu) installed on two laptops, and also the same programs (debs, flatpaks, some snap) on both; they are almost mirrors.
>
> Today I noticed that the `.local/share/flatpak/` directory in one laptop has the following subfolders:
>
> - db
> - repo
>
> while the homologous directory in the other laptop has these:
>
> - db
> - repo
> - appstream
> - app
> - runtime
> - exports
>
> I'm just curious: does anyone know what the extra directories in the second laptop are about? The only difference in the flatpaks between the two laptops is with the GPUs: the first has Nvidia, Mesa, Intel; the second only Mesa and Intel (so I would be expecting more directories in the first than in the second, if any...).
